No sooner are we collecting info from the FCC on the as-of-yet-unannounced iPAQ 4000 series than we're beginning to hear rumblings about the iPAQ 6000 series (okay, maybe the former was a little bit sooner, but not much). Pocket PC Italia is reporting that the new handheld will sport quad-band GSM/GPRS (800/900/1800/1900MHz), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an SD slot (probably SDIO), a VGA camera, and a whopping 1850 mAh battery. They forgot the … uh … hidden toothpick and tweezers? Seriously, if these early specs are right this will be the be-all/end-all mobile device (especially with a TV tuner sled!). I hope this thing isn't gigantic. Read more at Pocket PC Italia. Thanks to Pocket PC Thoughts for the link.

Nothing has been interesting from Pocket PC since the NR70V(9:56am EST Thu Oct 02 2003)Ever since Palm OS devices can do more than Pocket PC, Palm Zire with the camera, Palm T3, Sony Clie NR70V, NX70V, NX73V, NX80V, NZ90V, UX50. Pocket PC doesn't seem to be attractive at all anymore. I wonder which company will bring a fresh device home. – by A. Hitler

Palm 10(10:22am EST Thu Oct 02 2003)This reminds me of an article that I read on the onion once… The “Palm 10″ had all the features one could ever want in a palm pilot… The image in the article was of someone carrying around a 15″ CRT monitor with the outside made to look like a palm.

I could only imagine that the 6000 wouldn't be that far off – since HP usually makes things big anyway – and this seems to have everything but the kitchen sink… – by The Dude
